Best #LoveWins Tweets To Celebrate This Historic Victory, Because The Internet Is Overwhelmed With Joy

"And so it is ordered." With a 5-to-4 vote, the Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage bans unconstitutional in all fifty states. The five votes were from Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (a crucial champion of gay rights), Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. (Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and John Roberts dissented.) The landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges was decided on the basis of the Fourteenth Amendment, "equal protection under the law," stating, "The right to marry is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment couples of the same-sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty."THIS IS HUGE. The United States is finally on the right side of history, putting it in the books that people of all sexualities are equal citizens, entitled to the same protections and freedoms as every other American — including the freedom to marry. People took to Twitter to explain what the ruling means to them, to share how they are celebrating with their family and friends, and to express their excitement on this historic day.
